A Simple Way To Make Canned Tomato Soup Taste Better

Southwest cream of tomato soup

Start with a standard can (10-11 oz.) of condensed tomato soup. Mix it with one can worth of milk. Skim is fine, but others may be used for richer flavor.

Then add 8 oz. of picante sauce. I recommend Pace. This brand comes in mild, medium and hot varieties, as per your taste.

Then add a few shakes of cumin powder, and a teaspoon of minced garlic.

Blend everything well, and slowly bring to a simmer. Serve immediately.
